The risk there is more you accidentally make a bad comment on YouTube and Google bans your account, I think. I have no idea if I'd still be able to access my passwords if that happens. At least, personally I feel Google deciding to disallow me from logging in is more likely than Google losing my passwords.

That is only a risk for syncing, you would still still have your passwords locally saved

  Is there a local UI to view/export your passwords? The only one I'm aware of is https://passwords.google.com https://passwords.google.com but it's been a long time since I've used a builtin browser password manager. also- does Google (or other browser devs) release information on how they keep your passwords secure? Is it even E2EE?

    Yes, no need to use the web, all done from the browser. To your second question, I don't know, but thats only a concern if you export your passwords

  Are you sure? Chrome could very well lock you out.

    Never heard that happen, if you are worried about that, do a daily, weekly, monthly export

      I personally know at least one person who had his Google account locked with no explanation.

        That's not linked to what's local in your Chrome browser

      How would I do that securely?
